ProxyFinder

[erect]

I'm sure it works in wine but I was looking for something that I could tweak for my own reasons, one of them being an xrumer proxy harvesting tool.

I do this, just shoot a $_POST to some site of yours and save the proxies. Then just change the botmaster proxy url in xrum to your output page.

I get what you're saying with the source & stuff (big open source nut here), but some products just aren't going to go this route. If they're inexpensive enough (how much of your time is $25 worth?) then just accept it and move on with your life. The only real value open sourcing this would have is to repackage it with other programs, you can see why mattseh would be reluctant to have that happen.

what about this talk of the proxies that are working coming back as non anom?

a+++ nice work matt....

being paranoid I tend to test anonymity on every proxy (even if I own it) immediately before using. If not grab another one.

not hard to do, just plant a php script on one of your hosts that dumps all the HTTP headers to the page, hit it and then regex the response for your ip address.

Probably also worth checking for the presence of the HTTP_VIA header, even if the proxy is anon it indicates that there is a proxy in use.

HTTP_VIA is stripped out by my tool. I've found that some proxies were returning a phpinfo() page, which happened to have all the right info to report a proxy as working and anonymous, but was useless. This new version now blocks out proxies that return phpinfo() pages:

This version also allows you to specify the maximum response time allowed ("proxytimeout"). The default now is to get proxies that have been found to be working in the last 10 minutes. This can be changed by adjusting "proxystaleseconds". I also filtered out a lot of crappy sources from the default source list.

new version, only change is that the requests to the judge scripts are now POST, not GET, which seems to improve the quality of proxies gathered, as some only show errors (like codeen) when it is a POST request.

Just bought a license. Looking forward to testing it out. Thanks!

This tool kicks ass and Matt's support is top notch. If you're running XP SP3, this patch fixed my shit right up.

Remove Windows XP SP3 TCP/IP Connections Limit | Windows Reference

Thanks for the great tool at an unbelievable price!

I picked this up today and it's a very cool little program. I can't get it running on my Win 7 PC, but I did manage to get it going on my XP laptop.

If someone could give me a few tips to get it running on a server, I'd appreciate it.

looks legit. will buy once my plans for world domination are in place

 

[meutuber]

just place an order. made payment, all transaction details sent to your pm.

 

[mattseh]

All of the latest orders delivered, I'm taking feature requests for a new version, thanks

 

[webetricky]

just ordered, can't wait to give it a go. PM'd details.

So this tool can find proxies to use with Scrapebox as well right?

It finds proxies which in turn can be used with any program that supports them.

Been using it and its decent. If you let it run for a few hours it'll find 100-200 proxies. Quality of the proxies is medium. Overall, I'm satisfied.

Is the software still available and is it the "new" version that was discussed?

Thanks...

Yes it is still available, it's currently at version 5, I'm not sure what you're referring to with the new version?

btw a good thing could be 'going deep to find proxies'. aka it goes from page u give to deeper page to seek. thats a cool idea i think

 

[Rexibit]

Good Stuff. I added a few dozen more sources than the 5-7 that come with it and it's walking through them all incrementally every few minutes. I expected "Seen Proxies" to go up, but I guess those are what it is checking against.

Overall, very nice.

I would like to have the option of saving the list to multiple locations. That way I could have it go to the main folder and also to any other program which uses a different naming convention. I don't need that right now, but it'd be a nice feature for when I do.
